August already? White rabbits then

 Elephants and jewelry  this month from C's calendar 

Lammas, too, loafmas which has to do with harvesting wheat and baking bread. A bit hot for baking today.

Here's a bit of iris cordage

Iris handles differently from daylily, tougher, but just as good for string. It looks very much like daylily string, so it's joining the collection.

And here's s bit of indoor gardening

Some of the Italian basil I grew from seed, now rooting in water, very handy for cooking.

And yesterday saw the entire 2022 potato harvest, steamed, pat of Vermont butter, sprig of parsley,with the last of the lox and some baby spinach. 

Poifect.

And here are sliced baby bellas, slow cooked in butter and oil, ready ahead for today's roast chicken thighs and a side of the pasta I had yesterday.

Current reading was a wise little Mma Ramotswe story

And, the triumph of the Lionesses yesterday, in the beautiful gane, celebrated by my favorite, usually NSFW,  Forest Friends

Yay team!! Winning goal in overtime even. Glorious stuff, two great teams 

Women, with art,  will save us all.

Happy day everyone, let's all be Lionesses, keep going to the last minute.
